Omar Sy joined the cast in March and will likely play Bishop, a mutant whose ability enables him to absorb all forms of radiant or conductive energy that are directed towards him and release it as blasts of biokinetic energy. Bishop featured in the X-Men animated series when they adapted the Days of Future Past storyline, and took over the time-travelling role played by Kitty Pryde in the comics.

Warpath is almost certainly be played by Twilight actor Booboo Stewart. In the comics James Proudstar is an Apache Native American who possesses mutant superhuman strength and speed. Each X-Men film has added new characters to the mix, so it’s good to see Days of Future Past will continue this tradition.

X-Men: Days of Future Past stars Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Peter Dinklage, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Daniel Cudmore, and Omar Sy. Filming is currently under-way in Montreal, and we can expect more teases from Bryan Singer on Twitter over the upcoming weeks and months. 20th Century Fox has set a July 2014 release.
